Another successful mission at the Golden Gate to pull acoustic samples, conduct wildlife surveys and visual observations.
Thanks to our friends at the @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social for offering an EXO2 sensor to test the waters for salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen.

Wrapping up another successful field day of acoustic sampling and wildlife surveys.
Most of the mission was spent monitoring and reporting a severely entangled whale to the NOAA Fisheries Response Team. Happy news as the whale was rescued and freed within 24 hours!
